What to Do about Yaz Side Effects
Yasmin is a popular oral contraceptive pill that is taken by millions of women around the world every year. As of late, Yasmin has been linked with certain serious Yaz side effects and possibly life-threatening injuries. Women taking Yaz, or its generic form Ocella, have reportedly suffered gallbladder disease, blood clots, among other serious health problems. And on top of the already rising scrutiny, the Food & Drug Administration has sanctioned the makers of Yaz and Yasmin for misleading television commercials that did not properly making known to consumers involving the conditions the pills were meant to treat.
Among the different tilts impending on Yasmin, Yaz and Ocella birth control, the contraceptives also include drospirenone, a component not in other oral contraceptives. The British Medical Journal issued studies in August 2009 exhibiting a higher risk of venous blood clots in women taking drospirenone as opposed to those who used other oral contraceptives. In the same month, the Food & Drug Administration issued an uncorrelated warning letter to Bayer Pharmaceuticals, makers of Yaz, for using low-quality batches of drospirenone from a plant in Germany. For the benefit of public interest and wellbeing, these studies have been made available free on the internet.
Adult Females taking Yasmin, Yaz or Ocella to avoid getting pregnant or to treat PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) or severe acne have reportedly suffered major injury to their health and wellness. Although most pharmaceuticals present some form of side effects, the main issue surrounding Yaz seems to be that the original commercials downplayed the health risks and side effects. This attracted users to the product that may not have taken it otherwise had they been properly informed about the risks posed by Ocella, Yasmin and Yaz.
